It also featured a kick-ass Guinevere.
When the castle was about to be attacked, Arthur ordered the women to a safe space. Guinevere balked, telling Arthur "No way. This is our fight too, and we women will be up there fighting alongside the men."
Arthur sheepishly relented. And the women of the castle grabbed some swords and raced up to the ramparts.
I imagine the swords were pretty heavy in those days, but these noblewomen had no trouble wielding them, swinging them to and fro as they fought with gusto.
Fortunately, free tampon dispensers had been installed in all the knight's bathrooms, so the idiot sex could plug the saviors' wounds and nurse them back to reality.
As I said above, repurposed for various time periods and agendas.
A similar, possibly real historical anecdote, may be the source of this modern tv series vignette — Emperor Justinian was ready to flee Constantinople, and his hooker consort encouraged him to stay and fight, win or lose.
He pulled it together, regrouped the troops, suckered the rioters into the hippodrome, then set his troops to killing them all. There were no further riots.
Swords back then were finally balanced. Though heavy, they could be easily manipulated by someone with enough wrist strength.
